About us
The Children's Center for Communication and Development provides an interdisciplinary team approach to the assessment and treatment of communicatively- and developmentally-delayed children [birth - 5 years]. Services are either home-based or center-based, depending on a child's needs.
The Children's Center follows the calendar schedule of local public schools. Services are coordinated with each child's local school district and include speech-language pathology, special education, audiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, augmentative/alternate communication, at-risk followup, parent education, and a resource loan library.
In addition to providing direct services to children and their families, our certified staff supervises undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of disciplines within the University. A scholarship is awarded to one outstanding student each year to help defray tuition costs. Interested students should contact our offices for details.
Parents can learn more about services for their children by visiting or calling weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m.-noon, 1-5 p.m. [central time]. Our address, phone number, and e-mail link are shown at the left under the navigation menu.
Our Web site will be undergoing several "face lifts" as we transition to the new Southern Miss internet system. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Funding for The Children's Center is provided by a Federal IDEA grant and
